Pros: This processor has good speed and new technology. On stock fan and heat sink runs 25-28 Celsius when idle or doing simple stuff on the computer. Runs from 40C to 48C when under heavy gaming load and overclocking, which is amazing. I've monitored its temperature during gaming and it has never gone over 49C. I have a mesh case, so noise is an issue for me but this product does great, the stock fan is nearly silent.

Cons: The price is a little inflated right now. Installing the fan was a little scary, I had to put more pressure than I would like to when placing it onto the motherboard. Nonetheless, the fan installed fine and stable and everything works great.

Overall Review: This processor is excellent at overclocking, I overclock regularly at 3.0GHz with absolute stability and it runs at an excellent and cool temperature. This is only the beginning of the overclock phase. :)

Pros: The price for speed ratio on this card is amazing! And because it runs so cool, it overclocks like a charm. Gaming for hours at a time at stock speeds vary from 39-45C. When overclocking the highest I've had this card go was 55C, which is great. I've owned this card for over 6 months and it has never given me any issues. This card is quiet, I have a mesh case, so noisy parts are a big deal with me, however, this product passes the test with flying colors. I have not tested the new drivers (180), but apparently these drivers have reduced it's temperature, so this card will only improve with time. Highly recommended!

Cons: I really cannot think of anything. The card has given me no issues to date and still runs great.

Overall Review: I ran Far Cry 2 and Left 4 Dead on maximum settings smoothly without even having to overclock. I ran Fallout 3 and Crysis on high settings very smoothly. This card is great for budget gamers because of it's power. World of Warcraft can also have absolute max settings on this card with no problem. My computer setup is below so you can see what my video card has to work with. You will notice, none of it is top of the line stuff, however, still works excellent. Everything is at stock speeds, I rarely overclock. C2D E8200 Wolfdale @ 2.67GHz - 2x1GB G.Skill DDR2PC26400@ 400MHz Dual Channel - GeForce 9600GT 512MB - SATA 3.0Gb/s 250GB Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm, 32mb buffer - Windows XP Pro Edition SP3 (32-bit)

Pros: Price for performance does not get any better than this. The 9600GT is on par with the 8800GT with the 8800GT only having a slight performance advantage, however, you do pay more for the 8800GT. This card is fast, running games like Age of Conan, Bioshock, and Mass Effect exceptionally and smoothly on high settings. The card runs from 38-40 Celsius when idle and doing simple stuff on the computer on stock fan and heat sinks and the fan speed at a low 35% speed. While under heavy gaming load and overclocking it runs from 48-53C and the fan speed has been at highest 60% only. If I increase the fan speed to 80-90% it will not get even that hot but a card at 53C max does not have performance issues so I see increasing the fan speed further unnecessary. This card also overclocks great with stock cooling parts.

Cons: **This is not a con! Some people have complained about this video card being loud. I have a mesh case to help keep my hardware cool, so noise can become an issue for me, however, this product is exceptionally quiet. The video card will be loud at first with the fan exceeding it's 100% fan speed, their is a very simple fix, install the latest drivers from nvidia and it will become silent.

Overall Review: This card is big, however, if you have a mid-sized case the card will fit just fine.

Pros: Price for performance is amazing. I have a mesh covered case to help keep my hardware from overheating from the gaming I do, so having fast and quiet hardware is important to me and this hard drive does the job exceptionally by being very quiet and fast.

Cons: No cons here, however, I bought two of these, both register at 238GB not 250GB, both systems are running on Windows XP Pro. Stating this in case it would be an issue for some.

Overall Review: 3.0Gbs SATA and 32MB buffer are a great performance combo and I have to mention the price again because it's so good! If you run Windows XP, unless you do some crazy downloading, 238GB is a huge amount of space to work with and space will never be an issue 99% of the time.
